Professor Colladay received his Ph.D. in theoretical high energy in 1998. He has done research on the question of modifications to the equations of basic physics due to as yet undiscovered effects at very small length scales. Professor Colladay is a specialist primarily in quantum mechanics. In addition to teaching a number of courses in the traditional physics curriculum, Professor Colladay offers a course directed at the general student on the subject of basic high energy physics and its connection to modern cosmology.
